Micro-Enterprise Development

Global Issue: Micro-enterprises are essential to the economic growth of communities within developing countries. To maximize their contributions to local economies and to enable them to take advantage of the global economy, micro-enterprises need a supportive environment that includes the tools to access financial and global markets, and the essential knowledge and skills to operate micro-businesses and provide practical business services.

We are committed to:

• Assisting individuals and families in developing countries by collaborating with a variety of financial and banking organizations that specialize in micro-enterprise accounting, strategic planning, financial management, marketing, micro finance lending, and agribusiness development for farms and agricultural products.



• Providing training on the business and technical skills vital to creating and sustaining micro-enterprises such as the use of financial and administrative information systems and e-business strategies.



• Providing consulting services to create value chains that link micro-businesses, financial institutions, e-commerce, transportation services and other providers of business products and services that enhance micro-enterprises' ability to contribute to the local economy, and to access and take advantage of opportunities afforded in global markets
